Question Dell 2450 SCSI RAID and SATA device problem


I am having a problem with a DELL 2450 running Fedora 7 (F7).

There are 2 issues I have identified:

The install seems to be ok but there are a number of errors which appear. First of all, when I do an fdisk -l I get:

Code:

/dev/sde2              14        6607    52966305   8e  Linux LVM
Very odd as the whole RAID appears as each SCSI drive...

At startup I get all sorts of buffer errors (and extract of DMSG is availble if that would help).

Lastly, this may be to do with the other items, I have installed a SATA card which does not appear to be recognsied.

Thanks,

Michael.
